Description
With an MOT valid until November 2026, this 2015 BMW 1 Series 118i Sport offers immediate usability and removes the hassle of upcoming test dates for the next couple of years. Having covered 87,000 miles under just two previous owners, it presents a well-documented history that appeals to buyers seeking transparency. The five-door hatchback body style in black provides a smart, understated look while ensuring practical access to the rear seats and boot, making it a sensible option for daily commuting or weekend trips alike.
Under the bonnet sits a 1.6-litre petrol engine delivering 167.6 bhp, paired with a manual transmission that puts the driver in control of the gear changes. This setup allows for a top speed of 140 mph, providing plenty of confidence when merging onto motorways or overtaking on country roads. As a Euro 6b compliant vehicle, it meets the strictest emissions standards, meaning it is fully ULEZ compliant and free from daily charges in London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone. With CO2 emissions recorded at 137 g/km, running costs remain manageable for a car in the Sport trim, balancing performance with everyday efficiency.
The Sport designation typically brings a firmer suspension setup and sharper steering response, enhancing the driving dynamics BMW is known for in this segment. Inside, the cabin accommodates five passengers, offering enough space for small families or groups of friends. The combination of the manual gearbox and rear-wheel-drive layout ensures an engaging drive, distinguishing it from many front-wheel-drive competitors in the class. Whether navigating city streets or tackling longer journeys, the 118i maintains a composed ride. This particular example combines the desirability of the BMW badge with the practicality of a five-door layout, all backed by a long MOT and a clear ownership history.
